Most private place to spread ashes

Hi everyone,

My father recently passed away and requested that his ashes be spread in the park. We have booked a cabin and plan to do this on Father's Day weekend (actual Father's Day if the weather cooperates)

We have gotten the form and appropriate permissions to do such, but we aren't sure exactly the best place to do so. We know we cant be near a waterway and must be off a path, but don't know where we will be able to get the privacy to respectfully spread his ashes and get a private moment for us for the 5-10minutes we would like.

I know this park is exceptionally busy, and will likely be *very* busy that weekend. Does anyone have any recommendations on a spot we might be a little more secluded?

A caveat is that my mother and brother are not necessarily in the best shape so it is preferable if it is within 2 miles of a parking spot.

Any advice is greatly appreciated
